Welcome to the highest point in the Atlas Mountains and all of Northern Africa. Located 63 km South of the city of Marrakesh, it’s a popular addition for outdoor lovers visiting Morocco.

I drifted in and out forgetting where I was at times, when the sound of somebody being sick threw me wide awake again at 4am. I then clearly remembered where I was and decided to step out of the tent for a starlit view of Everest.
